With the weather a little cool for April (low 50s), I packed a denim jacket and a couple sweatshirts for our little trip to Nashville. I also choose jeans and comfortable shoes as I knew our activities would include walking and time outdoors. I was pretty pleased with what I packed even though I did not wear the one dress and sandals I had brought along in case we went out to a fancy restaurant. As I mentioned in my first recap post about the trip here, we ate lunch at a vegan restaurant called the Sunflower cafe, and I just had to take a picture in front as I…

Knowing that my oldest was going to spend spring break at home and that he would be low on spending money, I decided to take as many blog post pictures as possible during that week. I found inspiration by searching spring trend for 2025 and came up with real outfits from my closet and earmarked the ones that appealed to me. My first memory of pistachio is eating and disliking pistachio ice cream in France. I remember visiting some friends who had a boy about my age and me eating a pistachio ice cream that I didn’t like so I could continue talking to him. I was probably 10 or…

Today, I am sharing 2 outfits that I think can either fit in a coastal or French aesthetic category. The materials (linen and cotton), the colors (white, tan and navy) and patterns (florals and stripes) lend themselves to either frame of mind. I wore one outfit one week then the other the following week, but photographed both the same day. I wasn’t super pleased with the pictures (I can be overly critical sometimes with my posture, hair, facial expression), but decided they would work! This is not a professional blog, but more like a letter of fashion inspiration for my friends!! White and Blue with Tan These Old Navy linen…

Last month, my friend Rachel and I got together for some thrifting fun and lunch. While I had a list in mind and I was able to check off a couple of things on that list, I came across some fun finds I couldn’t pass up. The first thing I bought was a red trench coat, NWT from Express. Since I already had found this trench coat, did I really need the second one that was missing a belt? I did not, however the color was too good for me to leave it and I knew both would get worn in the spring and fall. Red Trench Coat Thrifting with…

This bright orange Amazon dress from 5 or so years back doesn’t get worn very often for some reason. I love the color of it and it works well for church or a date night, but I typically wear it once or twice a year. I last shared it for fall in 2023 (here is the post) and just as I did today, I wore it with sneakers (just a different pair). This is inspiring me to pull it out more often. I let the dress shine by choosing some more subdued accessories: small “silver” earrings and some bracelets. The fun tote is one that I thrifted in the fall…
